TORONTO, March 07, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- McEwen Mining Inc. (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX) has decided to suspend the distribution of ½ cent per share, which would have been paid on March 15th to shareholders of record on March 8th, 2019.
“We have experienced operating issues at our Black Fox Mine and with the startup of our Gold Bar Mine.
